| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for producing primary amines, which contain at least one functional group of the formula (-CH2-NH2) and at least one further primary amino group, by the alcohol amination of reactants, which contain at least one functional group of the formula (-CH2-OH) and at least one further functional group (-X), wherein (-X) is selected from hydroxyl groups and primary amino groups, using ammonia with removal of water, wherein the reaction is carried out in a homogeneously catalyzed manner in the presence of at least one complex catalyst containing at least one element selected from groups 8, 9 and 10 of the periodic table and at least one donor ligand. |
